Professor Tom Solomon will use Roald’s stories to explain how the body works, what can go wrong and how we can fix it.
Dahl, the beloved creator of children’s novels and adult short stories, was fascinated with medicine. His doctor, Professor Solomon, has written a book on the subject and brings it to life in this entertaining show. You’ll also have the chance to produce Gobblefunk and learn how to make your own marvellous medicine.
This show is suitable for children aged 9 - 12 years, who must be accompanied by an adult. Places are limited and free of charge. Please only reserve as many tickets as you need and let us know if you need to cancel, so that your places can be offered to someone else.
Professor Tom Solomon is Director of the Institute of Infection and Global Health at the University of Liverpool, and Chair of Neurological Science at the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust. He is an outstanding medical scientist who studies emerging infections, particularly those that affect the brain. He is also known for his work to explain science to the wider public, including a highly acclaimed TEDx talk, many radio and television appearances, Guinness World Records for creating the “World’s Biggest Brain”, and running the fastest marathon dressed as a doctor, and his recent book Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Medicine.
